It is often tempting to respond to some of the more off-the-wall attacks by some of our good friends on this forum. Been known to do that, myself. Yet, sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
When it comes to OPs, there are some contributors to this forum that are always worth reading. Octafish is the prime example, in my opinion. On the other extreme, there are a few who are never worth reading. Likewise, there are some topics where it's worthwhile to read posts from those we may disagree with. There are also topics that are utter nonsense, and never worth investing twenty seconds of our lives exploring -- for we can never get those 20 seconds back.
